Suspect

By: Clair M. Poulson

Narrated by: Jason Tatom

Detective Royce Fleming has dealt with the worst of the worst in his small Utah town. But even after years of dealing with criminals, he's shaken when a battered young woman enters his office.

The victim of ruthless domestic abuse, Ellerie Pearson finally has the courage to share her painful secret with the kind officer. For Royce, this information is just another piece in the puzzle he's working to solve - because unbeknownst to Ellerie, her husband's body has just been found. And she's the prime suspect in his murder.

As he delves into the mystery surrounding Darien Pearson's death, Royce is inundated with suspects. Darien's calculated cruelty left him with no shortage of enemies, and Ellerie's involvement seems less likely by the day. But when Royce's own past makes an unwelcome return, his duty may cost him everything.

great story

it was a great story and the narrator did an awesoome it kept me intriqued to the end

Murder Mystery for a Latter-Day Saint Audience

I thoroughly enjoyed this listen which was filled with so many twists that it ought to have been titled "suspects" instead of suspect. The author had a long career in law enforcement in Utah and this background is evident in the telling of the story. Various details and elements to the investigation add layers of realism for the reader. The detective's concerns for marriage, family, and the temple will resonate well with Latter-Day Saint readers both inside and outside of Utah. Although Poulson uses several Latter-Day Saint (Mormon) terms without much explanation for those who are outside the culture such as Visiting Teachers etc; he has done such an excellent job crafting his story that I would also recommend the listen to those outside its target audience who enjoy a good mystery with plenty of drama and a feel good ending.

Another fun story

I like the ways each story progresses. Fun reads. The mix of who-done-it and relationships is fun.

Love Clair Poulson books

Interesting and hard to figure out as a mystery should be. Love his books clean but not simple.

Poulson gets you everytime

Excellent writing, plot development, twists and turn everywhere. Just when you think you "know everything" the rug you're standing on is shifted or just plain YANKED out from under your:: I know what's going to happen"
